Promovendus managed to defend his opinion and answer questions about his dissertation entitled “The Role of Information Technology in the Interdependence between Efficiency, Competition and Price Behavior: An Empirical Study on Banking in ASEAN” so that he managed to graduate with the title “satisfactory”.
For information, Dr. Dede Djuniardi was carried out by testing using two stages least squares to eliminate endogeneity problems. The test results show a positive interdependence between efficiency and competition, namely a low BOPO score, meaning that high efficiency will make a bank have a low Lerner index score, meaning that it is competitive. In the opposite direction, banks with high learner index. It was also found that there is an interdependence of competition with price behaviour, and there is no interdependence between efficiency and price behaviour. Furthermore, information technology affects efficiency, competition and bank price behaviour.
Dr. Dede Djuniardi officially holds the 5013th doctorate who passed the exam at UGM and the 298th who graduated at FEB UGM. Prof. Eduardus Tandelilin, M.B.A., Ph.D. as the promoter congratulated and always advised to uphold the integrity and always respect the opinions of others when returning to the institution.
